Some of them are exceptionally good.
That's what you meant to say, right ;-)
In the past, I've owned the 7-14, 8, 12-60, 50, and 50-200 lenses. All I would buy again if there weren't equivalent (or close) m4/3 lenses. There is still nothing like the 150 f2, 90-250 f2.8, or the 300 f2.8 in the m4/3 lineup. I now own the first one of that group, and I'm stuffing away my pennies for one of the other 2. Hopefully by next year I'll have enough...

I shoot big Nikon in my studio, but on the street I LOVE my Oly micro 4/3. It has a flip-out screen, grest metering and focusing, and can be easily shot from the waist. Lens selection is good, too. I'm a fan.

I have played with the idea of buying the 50-200 instead of the 40-150 + the 1.4 teleconverter especially since I have the 14-54. The 150 f2, 90-250 f2.8, and 300 f2.8 are super fast and very sharp. Cost wise you will save a bundle over FF comparable lenses. Since Olympus is discontinuing the 4/3rds line, maybe they will design some f1.4 or f2 fast telephotos or zoom lenses for the M4/3rds line. One can only hope.

I can't see them discontinuing the camera but making an 8K sensor "in the future." I saw both of those articles, too. I think it's just a case of a lag in the news cycle. The 8K sensor article was researched and written, so they posted it.
EDIT: As I've said before, the naming conventions used by camera companies are ridiculous. 4/3 and micro 4/3? Come on!

You think that's bad, how about a 1 inch sensor that is actually about 1/3x1/2 inch. They really reach to justify that. The same size as the sensor in the 1 inch video tube we used to use in TV cameras. If I lied as badly as that, my mother would have washed out my mouth with soap.
